No, why should admins have to do everything to support broken client software? Maybe clients will *now* pay attention to your recommendation, if only due to the fact that Outlook chokes at all just because of broken messages. I'm using Outlook (not Express) since its early days myself, and I think it's a decent (although not optimal) mail client and PIM, but I'm very well aware of its weaknesses, and I tend to switch to Kmail in the foreseeable future. Of course there is a way to reject the "broken" messages: Write a courierfilter that checks the messages and rejects broken ones right in the SMTP dialog. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by OSDN developer relations Here's your chance to show off your extensive product knowledge We want to know what you know.
